The conference attracted members of parliament from around the world, 25 of whom signed an agreement on Saturday saying that, “never again will nations stand silent in the face of boycotts against the Jewish people.”Miller said afterward that he was glad Lapid delivered a clear message that “Corbyn should not be the leader of a civilized country like the UK.”When asked about the differences between Likud and Blue and White on foreign policy, Lapid admitted that there are not many.“Let me start with where we do not differ with Likud,” he said. “There is complete consensus on the fight against BDS, complete consensus on the Golan Heights. And I sat here with tears of joy a year ago when the American embassy opened here in our capital Jerusalem. The differences are on domestic issues – corruption, how we allocate budgets and the fight against religious coercion.”A member of parliament from Estonia asked Lapid about the 3.2% birthrate in Israel, which is the highest in the Western world and much higher than Estonia. Lapid, who is the son of Holocaust survivor and late justice minister Yosef (Tommy) Lapid, responded that Jews feel a responsibility after the Holocaust to bring life into the world.When a member of parliament dared ask Lapid about the efforts to form a government and prevent a third election, Lapid joked: “I’m hiding.”MK @yairlapid: "Usually u arent supposed to interfere in a country’s elections but this is an exception. Corbyn is an anti-Semite. Everyone in his right mind should take this into consideration when going into the voting booth. A racist is a racist & Jeremy Corbyn's a racist."
